Be secure this Christmas

The Metropolitan Police have launched a poster reminding us all that just about the last thing we want to experience over the festive season is our home burgled.

I think this year's poster is well-designed: eye-catching, amusing, clear in its message - three key ingredients to effective communication. And let's hope the message gets heeded and that Putney's crime rate continues to fall into 2008.
